I started off wanting to build a nice second income and do something that I have never done before. The first program that I joined to make money was strong future international aka SFI. Well that program is the first program that started me to earning an income online. It wetted my appetite for more so I really started looking at how I could introduce the success I had had to others. The first thing for me with SFI was my marketing techniques. I place my SFI affiliate link http://www.ezinfocenter.com/9938350/FREE in Traffic Exchanges, blogs, forums, Myspace, Facebook, Squidoo, and more. I built my affiliates to over 100 in less than a year.

I needed to create a forum to discuss my success with SFI and to share that success with others and then I heard about a medium called blog talk radio and created my first radio show broadcast located at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Richardson. I used the show to promote the Eyeearn Co-op that I used to help build my SFI affiliate base. I really liked the idea of what co-ops could do for a business. A co-op is basically a pooling of resources that helps each individual to control their budgeting costs. Co-ops are underutilized and if you do a search engine search, the term is pretty wide open. I liked the concept of Co-op advertising so much that I decided to start a group on the topic on a great small business network called Sta.rtup.biz. When the term co-op advertising is Google, my group http://sta.rtup.biz/group/cooperativeads is in the top 20 pages and has over 600 members.

I wanted my members and affiliates to feel that they were gaining something by being a part of my network. I started to promote the group with Google ads and also utilizing Squidoo. I designed Squidoo lenses that promoted the people that joined my co-op advertising group as a way for everyone to benefit. Squidoo is a network that can help you to get your ideas and more communicated by the power of suggestion. Some of my Squidoo pages are located at http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Desiree_Richardson.

These programs are a couple that I have used to create a solid affiliate and subscriber base. I was told early on that you have to build your list…build your list….build your list. Therefore I use get response auto-responder to build my list. The program is easy and will help you to build a nice list with persistence and commitment. I use this concept on my Ning network called Rich and Rich Entrepreneurs locate at http://richandrich.ning.com.

Why am I telling my affiliates this story. Well I market everywhere online. I don't stay on any one network but I use them all in my arsenal to be successful. I started this network less than a year ago with no members but I didn't give up and I did continue to market and network. We have a network of 600 members and growing. I believe in the power of many just like I still believe in co-op programs. I have used many networks such as the ones listed above.

Attention: I have attached the first ebook to help my affiliates get started. It's called Directory Maximizer. Submit your sites to keep them climbing in search engines. Many of you have the Rich and Rich Entrepreneur Affiliate banners on your site. You can submit your site to major search engines to improve your ranking and your traffic. You should be doing this monthly.
